Synopsis

Jungle Tech Blossoms explores the surprising ways forest tribes around the world are using mobile technology. It argues that mobile phones, often seen as homogenizing forces, can actually empower indigenous communities. The book highlights how these technologies facilitate economic empowerment through direct trade and support cultural preservation by enabling the documentation and dissemination of traditions. For example, mobile banking allows tribes to bypass intermediaries, leading to fairer prices for their goods. The book uniquely emphasizes the agency of these communities, showcasing how they adapt and repurpose technology to their specific needs.

 
Moving from access and affordability to economic and cultural impacts, the book uses case studies from the Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa. It examines how mobile technology helps preserve languages and oral histories, while also addressing challenges like misinformation and the digital divide.

 
Ultimately, Jungle Tech Blossoms provides a nuanced perspective on technology's role in marginalized communities. By blending ethnographic fieldwork and statistical analysis, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, technology companies, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, social justice, and the future of tribal communities.

This Is What Inequality Looks Like

Teo You Yenn

What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try?The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view 'common sense,' and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.© 2018 by Teo You Yenn. Published in paper format in Singapore by Ethos Books, recorded by Storyside 2019.

The Universe

Andrew Chen, Professor Brian Cox

Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell.
We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that’s barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe – at least for now.
With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest NASA mission information, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.
In THE UNIVERSE, Andrew Cohen takes us on a thrilling expedition through the sky, revealing the best of what astronomy and astrophysics have to offer. It's a book that captures the essence of space and the discoveries that have defined its history.
For fans of Brian Greene (Until the End of Time), Sean M. Carroll (Something Deeply Hidden), Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot), Stephen Hawking (Brief Answers to the Big Questions), and J. Richard Gott (A Brief Welcome to the Universe).
